Verrado Golf Club - Founders Course

We celebrated a friend’s birthday and had an amazing day playing Founders. The staff at the course were the BEST!!!

Distracted staff in the club house, lack of awareness in the cart barn staff, no water on the back half of the front 9, took 2:45 for 9 holes (we got 13 holes in before sundown and we started before 2:20pm), starter didn’t know pin position, we prepaid for all 4 golfers (only 3 could show) and they tried to put a 4th with us without suggesting we could get a refund for the 4th player (I had to tell them twice that we paid for the full tee time, and we are not accepting another golfer with us). So sad to continually see this course not paying attention to its customers, yet always trying to financially take advantage when it only makes sense for them. Disappointed.

First time here, very friendly staff. A little pricey, even with golf now, but an upper tier course. Pretty nice overall but over 100 degree day but plenty of water on the course.

This course is always well maintained, we played it early Sept 2023, the greens were just punched a couple weeks ago, a bit bumpy but the rest of the course was in an amazing shape after such a dry summer. Pricing was perfect around $40-50 to play in the heat. A must play in the West Valley.

I only gave 3 stars for the course condition, but to be fair, Phoenix has had 110 plus high temperatures for 20 straight days. I have played this course 2 other times in cooler temperatures and the course was in excellant shape.

I would play here again!

I realize it is summer in AZ, but the course was not in its normal glory. I haven't played here for a few years, but this is not the course I remember. The fairways and tee boxes are dry. The greens are inconsistent and bumpy. The layout is interesting, but with the dry conditions your tee shot just rolls with the contours until it is off the fairway. Kind of takes the enjoyment out of a good tee shot to have it roll into the junk.

Course is in poor shape

Greens and not good

Fairways are dead

Tee Boxes are Dead

Need Some Help Here for the Cost of Green Fees

Was expecting Better for the Rates charged

This course is one of the best I have played this year. Every aspect of the course was perfect. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, approaches, and greens were well groomed and in very good shape. The club house doesn't open until 1100 which slowed us down a little, but the staff let us come into the airconditioned clubhouse until they got everything up and running.

Course was in very poor condition for the price of green fees

Tee boxes were dead. Fairways were dead

Greens were very patchy in many locations

This course needs some help with course management and green fee prices

Beautiful course but many hazards and you will lose balls

Normally the Founders course is an enjoyable round of golf. However on this occasion the greens were terrible. They were so bumpy it was nearly impossible to hit a putt online.

Looks like they have some disease taking over some fairways and tee boxes. Greens were bumpy as well. Overall love the views and the summer prices.

Because of the cool temperatures, this year, the transition into Solid Bermuda growth pattern have hurt the greens so they were really bumpy and spotty.

Still for sure one of the top 10 courses in the valley
